WHERE DO I FIT IN !?
I have no idea where i fit into this business. I have ruled out runway because of the height requirement. I need feedback. Aug 16 05 01:12 am Link Looks like you're fitting in sideways so far...

Aug 16 05 01:25 am Link Ok, I looked. You're good looking, but your height will still probably be a problem even in commercial modeling since they'll often want you working with females and they want you to look proportionally taller than them. A lot of commercial models that would be playing your wife, girlfriend, or date are going to be your height or even an inch or so taller than you. Unfortunately your look is suited to those "leading man" roles but your height isn't. That doesn't mean you can't work at all, especially maybe in lifestyle type stock with the right partner model, but it will limit you. If you have an interest, and any talent for, acting you might consider that. Aug 16 05 01:32 am Link You have a face of a runway model, But you never know, things are always changing in this business, your height may be okay some day, this industry always has its fashion moments... Ciao Angela xoxoxoxoxo Aug 16 05 10:52 am Link Good advice thus far but in the mean time, you need to start photographing like the type of model you are trying to be. Less all of the other stuff and more you. Aug 16 05 11:26 am Link You have a model type look when youâre not yielding a knife or exhausting the MuA's make-up supply. I'd find your style and work around that. Good Luck! Aug 16 05 11:34 am Link McChicano wrote: Well I'd try print, but seriously... Lose some of the images. Your portfolio right now looks like a hodgepodge of model and 'I want to be far far away from you' inspirational images. Aug 16 05 11:46 am Link HAHAHA!!! Aug 18 05 12:39 am Link You are in NY. Visit some agency open calls and let them tell you where they want you. Aug 18 05 12:49 am Link Unfortunately your look is suited to those "leading man" roles but your height isn't.

sleep around with powerful people, be seen in all the right places, and wear expensive clothing.
